Report: Tottenham Hotspur launch £42m bid for La Liga star

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur have now submitted an opening bid for Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo after Ange Postecoglou gave the green light for the move.

Tottenham are interested in Takefusa Kubo

Tubo, who came through Real Madrid’s youth system, has excelled since his switch to Sociedad two years ago, emerging as one of the most exciting attackers in the Spanish top flight.

The winger primarily plays on the right but can also operate on the other flank or even through the middle, possessing plenty of pace and a wand of a left foot.

TEAMtalk claim that Postecoglou is a fan of the Japan international while Tottenham’s recruitment staff were impressed by his displays at the Reale Arena last season.

Tottenham launch a £42m bid for Kubo

Spurs are said to be ‘determined’ to bolster their forward line this summer and have allegedly opened the bidding for Kubo at €50m (£42m).

However, TEAMtalk claim that Sociedad may hold out for a bigger fee for the 23-year-old, who has a release clause of €60m (£51m) in his contract.

Aston Villa are also thought to be admirers of Kubo, with the publication adding that a transfer battle could emerge between the two Premier League sides for the winger.

Spurs Web Opinion

Postecoglou would have been aware of Kubo from his time in the J League and the winger possesses the kind of attributes the Spurs boss wants in his wide players, being direct and capable of making decisive contributions in the final third.

I doubt that Spurs have made a £42m bid without some of the reliable Tottenham journalists catching wind of it though, so maybe one to keep an eye on.
